is this as good as the be quiet 280,

Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 280 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler

You might find most of these AIO coolers all come from Asestek, so apart from some bling, fans and design choices they all perform very very close to one another.

1 more question

is there and rgb led 140mm fan that is as quiet as the be quiet silent wings 3

I have found the Thermaltake Riing fans to be very quiet, although they don't push a great deal of air, but aren't bad.

PAULRYAN52 · 5 Feb 2017 at 19:36

does anyone know how they compare

The specs will suggest not a huge amount in it...

Riing RGB
Silent Wings 3

But given the cost of the Riing, you're better off with the Wings 3 fans that come with the case.

I also don't know if the RGB controller comes with the single Riing fan or not. Doesn't seem to say either way. I know it comes with the pack of 3 though.

I'm thinking more in future if I wanted to add more colour to my system

Legend · 5 Feb 2017 at 20:09

Riing RGB's will certainly allow you to do that.

last question

can the rad fans be changed

Yes easily, but you would ideally want ones optimised for rads, don't put case fans on there. That said, the ones that come with the BeQuiet and Cooler Master are good fans and quiet, why would you change them? Don't think you'll even see them at the front of the case unless you peer around.

PAULRYAN52 · 5 Feb 2017 at 21:09

I don't just curious

PAULRYAN52 · 5 Feb 2017 at 21:13

i can get the coolermaster cheaper and quicker than the be quiet but don't know what to do

Legend · 5 Feb 2017 at 21:49

I think it's a good cooler, but never used it myself. As Stulid says, there isn't a great deal to separate AIOs, so you'll be fine. I'd probably choose the BeQuiet myself, but either one will do the job. You will not see any benefit in changing the fans.

PAULRYAN52 · 5 Feb 2017 at 21:51

ok think i'll stick with the be quiet

Legend · 5 Feb 2017 at 21:53

I know it's a little more expensive, but had you ruled out the Kraken X62? If you were looking to add some RGB inside the case, that would be a good way to do it.

PAULRYAN52 · 5 Feb 2017 at 21:59

thanks I'll stick to the be quiet because of the price

PAULRYAN52 · 8 Feb 2017 at 10:48

ok so I've had to set up the fans slightly different because two wouldn't fit at the bottom with the psu in place, so I've moved it to the top as an exhaust fan, will have the following still be ok

front: rad with 2x intake fans
rear: 1x exhaust fan
bottom: x intake fan
top: 1x exhaust fan
psu: facing up (only way it would go)

Legend · 8 Feb 2017 at 12:52

Should be OK, although I'm surprised PSU only fits one way round? Unless that's how the case is designed.

PAULRYAN52 · 9 Feb 2017 at 20:31

unfortunately the mb has got to go back as it won't boot and it looks like some of the cpu pins are bent, anyway should I connect all fans the mb or the fan controller on the case, I want to be able to adjust the fans so they hardly spin when not needed

I would use the fan controller.

PAULRYAN52 · 10 Feb 2017 at 17:41

ok if I put the controller in auto mode will the mb control the speeds
